[quote=MN3][quote]Stainless can fail without showing rust. Look at the holes the pins go through, if they're elongated replace them.
Look for cracks or any deformity. Just replace them anyway, they're cheap.[/quote]
i agree if you inspect (use a magnifying glass) and find cracks, it is time to replace but
this is pretty serious surgury, even after the boat is opened up
the bow tangs are glassed in and would need to be hammered out to replace
the sidestay tangs have 3 bolts that are probably fused by now and also glassed in -[/quote]
